RTP Apparel now distributed in the UK
T
he new range of RTP Apparel for DTG printing is now available in the UK and across Europe. In recent discussions between the companies involved, the RRR plan was created and Resolute DTG acquired the license to sell the ready to print garments known as RTP Apparel.
These shirts do exactly as the description states. Users can print black and white shirts anywhere, including the sleeves and inside with no pre-treating.
They are fully tested for use with Brother, Epson, Resolute, DuPont and Image Armor inks. Simply pick your shirt, quick press it to remove excess moisture and print anywhere; front, back, sleeves,
over the seams, collar and inside for custom labelling.
During extensive testing the product has gone through rigorous wash tests and holds Oeko-Tex along with BSCI certification. This high quality T shirt makes DTG printing a very simple and quick process, with no pre-treatment required it opens up printing T shirts in places that before now were practically impossible. The 160gsm fashion shirts are priced similarly to other non pre- treated shirts of the same quality. The white T shirts can improve production by 80% per hour, it is possible to print bright vibrant colours at a lower resolution and faster speeds with less ink than a standard T shirt.

work in a world dominated by mathematics. When you train yourself to think in terms of geometric shapes, polylines, and Bezier curves, the design process can feel removed from where your creativity began – the simple joy of drawing. “Taking advantage of the latest advancements in Windows hardware and the power of machine learning, the new LiveSketch tool in CorelDRAW 2017 brings the fun and creative experience of pen and paper to vector illustration for the first time. In this new creative environment, technology in effect, disappears.”
